English translation:insourcing subcontracted work

Bus/Financial - Human Resources / Updates to a collective agreement in Quebec
French term or phrase: récupération des travaux
This is a section in the collective agreement on the creation of a joint committee charged with the following:

"Le mandat est d’analyser la ***récupération des travaux*** donnés à la sous-traitance et ceux ***récupérables*** en cas de réduction d’effectifs ou ceux à être confiés à un salarié incapable d’effectuer les diverses tâches de son poste, en raison d’une incapacité fonctionnelle permanente."

The meaning would seem to be "bring subcontracted work back in house" but there must be a better way of expressing this.

you could probably indulge in your own version of Queneau's "Exercices de style", but I don't see much the point.

disagree  Daryo: you have to pair "insourcing" with "outsourcing" // **BASICS OF LAW**: "subcontracting" DOESN'T imply that the work was previously done "in-house" - a company could very well "subcontract" the part of a contract that it couldn't do / don't do anyway.

  -> There's no space to go into the nuances of the two languages that apply here so I'll stick to: no I don't//irrelevant. Basics of language: "récupération" does NOT have to imply "bringing back again" but in this context just "bringing inhouse" - nuance.
